All Production And No Soul
STOP what you're doing, and go watch the original French Canadian (2003 & 2013) instead. This remake right here has absolutely nothing to offer, y eso que yo soy Latina.
Ok it's not that bad, right, only because the ORIGINAL is very good. This version is a dumbed down version. Superficial acting, the set looked like AI rendering I'm not kidding, the dialogue was simplified to the extreme. Everything felt off, and that's because it doesn't have spirit, it is just a movie made to fill the Netflix daily quota of "new" content- meaningless, insubstantial content at that.
The 2013 movie with Brendan Gleeson felt more real because they filmed in a real island, with real homes. The story was more credible, it didn't look like a fever dream fairytale.
